Xamarin.Forms：从代码隐藏项将项目添加到ListView而不进行绑定？

Question

So far I've added a map and a listview with static items to my Form. This is what the xaml looks like:

<StackLayout>
    <StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
        <maps:Map WidthRequest="960" HeightRequest="200"
        x:Name="MyMap"
        IsShowingUser="true"/>
        <ListView x:Name="ListView_Pets">
            <ListView.ItemsSource>
                <x:Array Type="{x:Type x:String}">
                    <x:String>dog</x:String>
                    <x:String>cat</x:String>
                    <x:String>bird</x:String>
                </x:Array>
            </ListView.ItemsSource>
        </ListView>
    </StackLayout>
</StackLayout>

Instead of being static items, I would like to add them using a simple foreach loop. This is what the loops looks like:

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        string[] pets = { "dog", "cat", "bird" };
        foreach (string pet in pets)
        {
            /* Add each pet to ListView */
            //ListView_Pets.ItemsSource.Add(pet); This doesn't build
        }
    }

I was looking at ListView Data Sources , but they declare a collection ObservableCollection that I then bind to the ListView . I don't want to bind my ListView to a collection; I'm looking for the equivalent of this asp.net snippet (if it's possible):

foreach (string name in nameList)
{
    DropDownList_Pets.Items.Add(new ListItem(name));
}

just assign your array to ItemsSource

string[] pets = { "dog", "cat", "bird" };
ListView_Pets.ItemsSource = pets;

any IEnumerable can be used as an ItemsSource
